Heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. ~The Tide by The Spill Canvas~

He's burning, he's drowning
he's crying, he's laughing.
They say they care,
they swear they're there
but no one sees the hidden.
From the world he is forbidden.
Alone he holds on,
to a hope that's almost gone.
Losing himself in the lies,
pretending that everything will be alright.
He crawls along trying to survive.
But why, why does he struggle on in life?
Slowly he slips away,
breaking apart more and more each day.

Everyone feels alone when they get lost and lose sight of who they are. But they aren't alone. There are others out there who feel the same. I hope this poem helps them to see that and inspires them to continue to hold on.

I love how it connects on a level that's extremely deep, but also one that hopefully not a lot of people experience. It's kinda sad, but that's what makes it beautiful.
